NOVEL ACTIVES AGAINST PROSTATE CARCINOMA

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a composition comprising lycopene and genistein in the prevention and coadjuvant treatment of prostate carcinoma. The present invention is also directed to the use of a composition comprising lycopene and epigallocatechin gallate in the prevention and coadjuvant treatment of prostate carcinoma. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of one of these compositions in the primary prevention (i.e., the prophylactic supplementation of healthy subjects) of the onset of prostate carcinoma, in the coadjuvant treatment (i.e. the supplementation accompanying a running therapy of prostate carcinoma) and in the secondary prevention (i.e., the supplementation after a successful therapy for the prevention of relapse) of prostate carcinoma. Furthermore, the present invention is also directed to the reduction/decrease of the PSA plasma level in the blood of subjects to whom either a composition comprising lycopene and genistein or to whom either a composition comprising lycopene and epigallocatechin gallate are administered. Further compounds that may preferably also be present in the composition of the present invention are vitamin E, resveratrol and polyunsaturated fatty acid (derivative)s.
